The effects of postactivation potentiation on sprint and jump performance of male academy soccer players. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the postactivation potentiation (PAP) effects of both dynamic and isometric maximum voluntary contractions (MVCs) on sprint and jump performance and establish whether PAP methods could be used effectively

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.

A Smooth Jump Point Search Algorithm for Mobile Robots Path Planning Based on a Two-Dimensional Grid Model

open access: yesJournal of Robotics, 2022
To address the problems of the traditional A∗ algorithm in solving paths with many expansion nodes, high memory overhead, low operation efficiency, and many path corners, this paper improved the traditional A∗ algorithm by combining jump point search ...

No apparent ecological trend to the flight-initiating jump performance of five bat species [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 2011
SUMMARYThe jump performance of five insectivorous bat species (Miniopterus schreibersii, Myotis blythii, Myotis capaccinii, Myotis myotis and Rhinolophus blasii) was filmed using a high-speed camera. All study bats jumped using a similar technique, with the wing musculature providing the force.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Analytical solution to problems of hydraulic jump in horizontal triangular channels

open access: yesAin Shams Engineering Journal, 2013
A hydraulic jump is formed in a channel whenever supercritical flow changes to subcritical flow in a short distance. It can be used in triangular ditch irrigation to raise the downstream water surface.

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

Exact simulation of jump-diffusion processes with Monte Carlo applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We introduce a novel algorithm (JEA) to simulate exactly from a class of one-dimensional jump-diffusion processes with state-dependent intensity. The simulation of the continuous component builds on the recent Exact Algorithm ((1)).
